APPLICATIONS OF RELIABILITY GROWTH MODEL DURING LIGHT TRUCK DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT

This paper uses the Duane's reliability growth model and applies it to some subsystems of light duty trucks during their design and development and prototype testing. The data presented illustrates explicitly the prediction of the reliability growth during development and testing. The data is used to estimate the parameters for the reliability growth curve. Once the model is development, it can be used to monitor product reliability. /GMRL/
